SoapUI certification and training

Hi all,

I have some questions about the new SoapUI certification.

For example, what is the difference between SoapUI Open Source Certification and SoapUI Pro Certification? And the SoapUI Pro On-Demand Video Training, is that also usable for the SoapUI Open Source Certification exam? Does it cover the same subjects for example, since there is no SoapUI Open Source On-Demand Video Training available (or does the Pro exam have the same subjects as the Open Source exam, but includes more/extra topics?). I ask this because I was wondering what the differences are and how you can prepare for the SoapUI Open Source Certification/exam.

But I don’t see a FAQ for this specific certification/training subject on the website, or no mail address/web form to turn to (also no specific board/topic on this forum). So I was wondering if this (forum/part of the forum) is the correct place to ask those questions?

Thank you for your answers

Greetings,

Vincent

    Hi Vincent,

    Did you get some replies for your questions?

     

    I too want to know the difference & attempt certification. I mailed customer support but they couldn't share any specific syllabus or content related to exam scope.

     

    Still waiting to hearing concrete from them.

     

    Please share if you found some thing helpful. Thanks!!


    Regards,

      Hi,

       

      I'm also thinking of getting the certification maybe around May or June. I've already inquired with their Customer Service. Anyway, give them a few days to reply. Several countries had holidays last week and up to today. Here's what I've gathered so far.

      • The exam payment is valid for only one take or attempt.
      • This is not like other certification exams which you have to retake every few years to keep your certification. It's only one time per product.
      • When you say per product, if you pass SoapUI NG Pro, this does not automatically make you certified for SoapUI Open Source or LoadUI NG. These are different products even if you can see them all as 1 tab each under Ready!API interface.
      • For the exam syllabus, I haven't seen the exact coverage but you can check the on-demand training syllabus here so I guess, the certification exam should be almost the same as this one's coverage. I've seen a thread though wherein someone replied that when he took the exam, there are about 5 questions that were not discussed on the training.

      ...I suppose SoapUI NG Pro exam is different from SoapUI Open Source since there are some functionalities available at SoapUI NG Pro which are not available on SoapUI Open Source like environment selection. Here's a comparison.

       

      For references, you can attend or sign up for their monthly webinars (It's free! I took some myself and got an electronic certificate for the attendance) for the product you are interested in or check their resources for tutorial videos. Goodluck!

        Thanks Debz for the information.

         

        I am planning to take this up around June for SoapUI NG Pro. Will start with the tutorial syllabus for now :)

         

        I have already attended the 101, 201 and 202 webinars :)

         

        All the best for your attempt and do let me know if you get any reply from customer support for the exact syllabus or coverage.

         

        Regards,

        Ajay
